75 Sun-kissed Subject Line Inspirations for Your Summer Email Campaigns

While you’re working hard on that beach body of yours (or not), it’s high time you also start thinking about how to work around your summer email marketing campaigns. While we all know the importance of copy for a converting email, what many marketers often downplay is the power of a subject line. The subject line is the threshold to any conversion through an email, as it is where the lead first encounters the brand in an email.

A subject line can impress the subscriber and immediately establish a good relationship, whereas a bad subject line can send you to the spam folder. We don’t want that to happen, right? Here are a few stats  that you should keep in mind if you have never paid attention to the subject lines in your emails:

 47% of email recipients open emails based on subject lines alone

26% are more likely to open an email with a personalized subject line.

50% of all emails are opened on mobile phones. So it’s ideal to keep your subject line short as most subject lines on smartphones show 24-64 characters.

This summer, keep the subject line as your top priority while you create your email campaigns and make the best of seasonal marketing to promote your brand.
